When Hauptmann finally arrived in Berlin on 15 February 1949, she was giving the responsibilities to resume the publication of Versuche (now by the Suhrkamp Verlag).

I found it interesting how the various women in his life were often irresistibly drawn to each other (unspoken) despite their open hostilities, i.e the alcoholic Ruth and the self-effacing Elisabeth.

The opening essays place Brecht's creative work in its historical and biographical context and are followed by chapters on single texts, from The Threepenny Opera to The Caucasian Chalk Circle, on some early plays, on the Lehrstücke and on the neglected contribution of Elisabeth Hauptmann to the Brecht canon.

Brecht formed a writing collective which became prolific and very influential.
Elisabeth Hauptmann, Margarete Steffin, Emil Burri, Ruth Berlau and others worked with Brecht and produced the multiple Lehrstücke (teaching plays), which attempted a new dramaturgy for participants rather than passive audiences.
The book was then claimed to be by the mysterious Dorothy Lane (now known to be Elisabeth Hauptmann, Brecht's secretary and close collaborator).

 Three Penny Opera Review
Worse yet, we hear rumors that it was Brecht who wrote the music (borrowing tunes, also), and Weill only transcribed it—which is certainly not true.
It was this production which piqued the curiosity of Elisabeth Hauptmann, who translated it and showed it to Brecht, who noodled with it a while.
When a young producer approached Brecht for a new piece to re-open the old Schiffbauerdamm Theater in Berlin, the author impulsively offerd his half-hearted sketches derived from Gay—which were accepted, to his surprise.

 The New York Review of Books: READING BRECHT, WRITING BRECHT
He cites me in the first column as believing that "at least seven of the eleven 'Berlin' stories" (in the book of Brecht Short Stories 1921-1946 in Manheim's and my collected edition) are by Brecht's collaborator Elisabeth Hauptmann.
I was speaking of the fourteen "Berlin" stories in our selection, as compared with seven other stories published elsewhere under Hauptmann's name which in my judgement were "thematically and stylistically indistinguishable" from Brecht's fourteen.
On the same page another quote mentions the manuscript of Brecht's "Benares Song," on whose script, it is said, "Hauptmann wrote at the time" claiming its authorship.

Likewise set in Victorian London, Brecht’s version nevertheless has a strong German sensibility, and any new translation must capture the nuances of this German/English combination.

 ACT's staging lets 'Happy End' live up to its name
It's not clear how much of the script Brecht wrote.
Most of it was by Elisabeth Hauptmann, one of his primary collaborators (and lovers), who'd also had a hand in "Threepenny." Brecht disowned the play, as did Hauptmann for much of her life (it's credited to the fictitious Dorothy Lane).
He did take credit (reportedly, at Weill's insistence) for the lyrics.
